Odds And Ends: Hudson, D’Backs, Expos, Jays

More links to look through for the evening, including a little history…

MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports that Tim Hudson was scratched from his rehab start tonight with a sore groin.

D'Backs GM Josh Byrnes told MLB.com that he expects a "pretty active" August around the league, trade-wise. It'll be interesting to see if Doug Davis and Jon Garland clear waivers; if they do, the D'Backs could be among the teams making trades.

You thought the Roy Halladay saga was over, but it's merely on hold. J.P. Ricciardi says he'd "have to listen" to offers for his ace after the season, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Next time, the GM hopes the offers are "a little better."
